What are run-flat tires?

A run-flat tire is a pneumatic vehicle tire that is designed to resist the effects of deflation when punctured, and to enable the vehicle to continue to be driven at reduced speeds (up to 90 km/h or 55 mph), and for limited distances of up to 100 miles (160 km), or even 200 miles (320 km) depending on the type of tire.Run flat tires are tires for vehicles that are designed to deflate very minimally when they are punctured. Therefore, run flat tires are typically better and safer for people to use.

What is a run flat indicator on the BMW 3 series what does i mean?

Run flat tires are special tires that can drive even if punctured and completely flat. Their sides are specially reinforced by steel or rubber so they can support the whole car mass. The indicator indicates if a tire lost pressure i.e. was punctured. If a warning comes out, you have to stop driving and inspect the tire. If it is flat, you can continue driving for another 100 miles (160 km) but you must not exceed the speed of 60 mph (90 kph). Sometimes there could be also a false alarm. Especially if you have put new tires of another diameter.
